I think this is one of the prettiest boulder burials you will see anywhere. It is simply perfect in form.
Three low stones support a large rounded (but slightly pointy) boulder that projects out over the front supporting stone. The similarity to this mini-structure and a portal tomb is quite sriking, but obviously on a far smaller scale. With this one I don't mind people calling them 'boulder dolmems'.
So, if you want to see a great boulder burial come here and marvel at the simplisticity of form demonstrated by this one - a lot of sculptors have tried for many years to obtain the loveliness of proportion attained here.
